Commentary


Pendant deux siècles, la Suisse a exporté des mercenaires, considérés comme les meilleurs soldats d’Europe. La France en fit usage et doubla cet accord commercial d’un accord politique destiné à éviter que les Suisses ne fournissent des contingents à des ennemis de la FranceL'alliance de la France avec la Confédération Hélvétique ayant expiré depuis douze ans, on jugea à propos de la confirmer par un nouvel accord signé le 4 décembre 1663 à Soleure.

Historical background


SWITZERLAND - CONFEDERATION OF HELVETIA - CANTON OF GRISONS

The canton of Graubünden is the largest of the Swiss cantons. For two centuries, Switzerland exported mercenaries, considered the best soldiers in Europe. France made use of it and doubled this commercial agreement with a political agreement intended to prevent the Swiss from providing contingents to enemies of France The Helvetic Republic imposed by the French ended in 1803. Bonaparte, by the Act of mediation gave the Swiss cantons a new constitution which provided for military aid of 16,000 men in exchange for the creation of a federative republic where each canton had its government, almost universal suffrage was established, the army and the coin were common.
